I have gotten a teeny bit of fall decorating done that I wanted to show though. Hmmm, this really isn't the greatest picture, but it's the pumpkins that I made for that tutorial last week.
This is my favorite fall decoration ever. A couple years ago my friend Felicia made a table runner to give away at a church party. The whole neighborhood knew she was doing it and we all wanted it. We probably got record numbers at that church function. Well, I didn't win and I was ticked :) I was so mad I decided to make one of my own. I traded some babysitting with my friend Felicia and she did a beautiful job quilting it.
Felicia, would you please move closer so I could have my own personal quilter back???
Ya notice anything different about my little candy corn garland? Like it's gotten a lot shorter. My sneaky little kids think it's their own little treat to eat at their own convenience. It's probably a good thing I didn't spray that clear varnish on it.
Have a great day, thanks for being such great blogging buddies!

LOVE that runner. Oh how I wish I was a quilter.
I'm glad you didn't spray your candy corn either. LOL.

LOL My kids would totally be eating the candy corn garland too! Sneaky little stinkers!
You runner is beautiful! I don't blame you for wanting one of your own... (Can I ask how did you get the SLC Temple icon on your computer?) I am so naive about so many technical items of blogging.
It sounds like a busy week...I took have been in positions of doing many funerals! It is just because I am older...: )
Bless you heart and glad you are back!

I love that the garland is getting shorter...lol
Love the pumpkins, they look really nice on your mantel. I haven't bought any candy corn yet b/c I will be the one wanting to eat it.
Lovely fall decor. I think you got a good deal out of your babysitting time!
I totally LOVE LOVE LOVE that runner. It's just beautiful. Wish I was good enough at that to make one!!!
Your decor looks so cute! I still have yet to get mine out. Still cleaning the house. Then I get to play.

no you can't have her she's mine for the time being! :) you should come down and visit your friend felicia so we could get to know eachother in person though! she keeps telling me you and i have a lot in common!
Hey there. Looking good around there. Did you get my comment yesterday? I left you an award over at my site yesterday!!! Go pick it up girl!
See ... told you I wouldn't be able to handle the garland ... the sweet smell is getting to the kids!
Your runner is so cute!
I admit it--in our house I probably would be the one sneaking the candy corn off the garland!

OOOooo! I love your runner! Felicia did a spectacular job. You lucky girl to have some of her work!!
I had to laugh about your kids eating your garland. If it makes you feel any better, my kids, as big as they are, would probably do the same thing! :)
Hope the funeral luncheon is all planned and you can do some funner things!
Ha! I love that the garland is getting shorter. At my house it would already be gone and it would be Todd's fault :o)
Oh, how I wish I could move closer...closer to you, closer to fabric stores, closer to Target, closer to civilization!
Oh, how I love that quilted runner, and your pumpkins are cute, love the black candlestick holders:)

Love the runner. The mantle looks wonderful and I'm totally sitting here at my computer desk giggling out loud picturing munchkins on the table/chairs getting their sugar rushes from your candy corn garland! Bryce found my candy jar of candy corn and depleted it by about 1/2. And, he gave 1/2 of one to his sister who loved it. Oh my gosh~ what has he started?!? ;) Hope your Friday is a good one! Bryce has been back to school for a few weeks now and I'm STILL not into a routine yet girl!!! xo
Great ideas! I am dying over the chandelier, I love that idea on Susie's blog, and wanted to try it! :) Yours looks great.
How cute. YOU ARE SO CREATIVE
Hi Nicole,
Just stopping by to say Hi!
I am realizing that I need to get out my fall decor. Everyone is blogging about it. I am having a hard time of letting go of summer. I guess its because we just returned from vacation in sunny So. Cal. I am so far behind!
So glad you didn't spray your candy corn. Congratulations on your latest award!
Hugs,
Jody
Apparently I don't know how to leave messages! Wha??? so if this shows up twice-sorrry! Anyway-I just love that runner and I would do anything to get me one too. No wonder it caused such a stir!
WOW -- you are on top of it!!! I took my cake up to the funeral and it looks like you did a great job getting it organized!
Maybe you should spray glaze on the garland and let them learn their lesson. Typical monkeys. ;)
I'm glad you posted about the garland before I made it - making me second guess making one.
Love that runner. I'm going to take a quilting class this fall at Piper's. Can't wait. Your home is starting to look fallish. Love the weather we're having. Mimi
I always love to visit your home..I feel like I would be soo comfortable there if I came to visit. I love that big grapevine wreath. cherry
cute runner! My MIL is an incredible seamstress-it's her etsy shop on my blog. this is a good and bad thing. Every time she updates with something so super cute-which is all the time-I call her and tell her that I want it. Go and look on there and look at the super cute rooster/fall runner. My hubby called her and told her I wanted it-even offered to pay for it-she just laughed. Hope it was a good laugh cause I really want it.
Ok-so your kiddies ate the candy huh? the reason why i haven't and probably wont make one. Who am I kidding-i would be the one who would eat it! At least i am honest right?
Yikes, thinking of tasting that varnish. lol
I LOVE this runner! I wish I had that skill. That's so funny that the kids ate your decoration. How come they don't understand you're not supposed to eat the candy-just look at it!?
Everything looks so cute. Love the pumpkins and the runner.
